The purpose of the study is to gain a better understanding of Black women's experiences with communication, relationships, and interactions with their women's health care providers. Specifically, we are interested in 1) exploring Black women's experience of racism or discrimination and stress, 2) understanding the importance of racial concordance between Black women and their obstetric care providers, and 3) describing Black women's lived experiences with their obstetric care providers.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the knowledge acquisition and information seeking habits of athletic trainers regarding the prevention and management of exertional heat illness. The study also aims to understand the facilitators and barriers associated with obtaining evidence-based information and implementing it in clinical practice. This will allow for the improvement of information delivery and knowledge transfer in the future.

Long-term complications that may be related to chemotherapy in preparation for transplantation, bone marrow transplant, or autologous gene therapy in sickle cell patients are unknown. The purpose of this study is to answer questions about the long-term impact of having a bone marrow transplant or autologous gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease and to compare the health outcomes to individuals who have sickle cell disease but have never had a bone marrow transplant or autologous gene therapy. The study also want to compare health outcomes of those who have received a bone marrow transplant or autologous gene therapy to a healthy sibling if they had a non-related donor or autologous gene therapy. The study will also compare health to that of donor siblings.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of Sickle Cell Disease on the state of coagulation and effects on generation of certain coagulation proteins. People with sickle cell disease tend to have a higher rate of thrombosis which is not fully understood. Through this study, we hope to gain a better understanding of the effects of sickle cell disease on turning on coagulation that ultimately leads to a thrombotic event.

We will collect stem cells from individuals with autism to investigate brain development in sibling pairs who do not share a diagnosis of ASD, as well as examine associations between brain growth and variation in ASD-related behaviors.

This research uses the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) Scale to gauge the readiness of school mental health practitioners (i.e., school psychologists, social workers, and counselors) to shift toward trauma-sensitive systems. Despite the reliance on school mental health practitioners in this movement, little research exists on their preparedness for and training in trauma-informed approaches. In hope of better situating schools to act as buffers against the adverse effects of childhood trauma, this research seeks to inform graduate and professional-level training on disciplinary practice, causes of student behavior, and the protective nature of secure adult relationships.

TCN PATHS is a Justice Community Opioid Innovations Network (JCOIN) study in collaboration with UNC-CH, Yale, The University of Puerto Rico, The Hennepin Research Institute, University of Rochester, University of Connecticut, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the University of Miami, aims to improve health outcomes for justice involved persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death, and a common cause of morbidity, after release from jail. Recently, because medications for OUD effectively reduced relapse, recidivism and overdose, several jails have started to treat OUD with medications. However, OUD treatment discontinuation upon release is a persistent problem. The long-term goal of the study is to reduce morbidity and mortality from OUD among justice-involved individuals. The overall objective is to assess whether the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), which provides enhanced primary care for people released from incarceration in 30 community health centers in the United States,

In an effort to develop a theory about how organizational culture forms in new organizations, we are interviewing key figures at 12 tech startups about elements related to culture.

The purpose of this research study is to use electroencephalography (EEG) to refine our understanding of the neural mechanisms that give rise to the memory changes observed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The information we learn from doing this study may help improve diagnosis of MCI in the future.

We are no longer recruiting for this study. With the participants we do have, we obtain MRI images of the child's brain and administer cognitive behavioral assessments every 2 years. We are looking at brain structure, along with the assessments, to hopefully find biomarkers that predict mental illness.
